I am giving the newly-promoted-to-beta Google Calendar a whirl. It's nifty. I have publicly shared a calendar describing my whereabouts, which you may access in either XML and iCal formats using the links on the 'Subscribe' section of this page. Let me know if you give it a go.

I have been feeling increasingly unsettled of late and so I have retreated to Liverpool for the Easter break, taking refuge in my sister's city centre apartment whilst she is away skiing. A change of scenery for a week or so is most welcome.

Liverpool is, of course, home to the SuperLambBanana, which is why you are seeing a bright yellow lamb/banana accompanying this post. It's just round the corner from me.

My unsettled feeling is, as is always the case, a result of a number of factors - although, this time around, work is the primary concern. As a result of my thinking around work, I'm wondering whether I should ditch Reading and head back up north again. I've really not made any conclusions yet - I've only been in Reading for six months, so I don't want to do anything hasty.

Coming up to Liverpool has been useful, so much so that I've deferred my return until Monday. This evening I'll have my feet up with a DVD and a few beers for company. Bliss.
